Cadets Order and efficiency reign supreme in the halls and corridors of West Side under the present cadet system. Students who are interested offer their services, and those whose qualifications permit are assigned posts. Conscientious, dependable, courteous but firm, the cadets offer a service, indispensable to the school. Eight captains, one for each period, were chosen by Mr. Aker, cadet sponsor, to direct the organization. The captains were Eleanore Lamb, Ida Lorman, Eunice Wilson, Iean Bowler, Grace Asti, Elizabeth Standfuss, Ioe Gasper, and Eileen Dorsch. A monitor's duties consist of: maintaining peace and quiet in the corridors, preventing students from leaving the school, and in keeping them out of the halls during class hour. E. 'VVilson, I.

Every student at West has heard it for months. lt ushers in a new day and a longing for that noon-tide meal. The mistress of that voice is none other than Irene Tooley, who has served so long and so faithfully. Now to get down to business- This cherry pie certainly is swell -Thanks to Mrs. Norma Meyers, our congenial and ever-smiling cook. Orchids are also due the cafeteria staff which has offered us such perfect service throughout the year. Most important of all, we owe a vote of thanks to Miss Isabel Baldwin, our hostess and dietician. While keeping prices down, she has kept spirits up with her varied menus. Top Row: I. Bruins, S.

Paeschke Award RICHARD JACQUES Valedictorian The Paeschke medal for outstanding qualities of scholarship, character, leadership and service is awarded yearly to the student most represen- tative of these qualities. This medal has been awarded for approximately iiity years--but com- paratively few know its unique history. In the eighties three business men, including Mr. Paeschke Sr., gave a medal to the outstand- ing graduating student of the Fourth Ward School. Charles Paeschke won this medal the year before the practice was discontinued. The year preceding his graduation from West i. S Q K Division, Charles lr. died. ln 1903 the senior Mr. Paeschke revived the custom of presenting the medal at West Division, awarding it in honor of his son.

Everyone knows that it will eventually end in the book store, an in- dispensable and important unit in the mechanism of West. The purchasers at the book store are efficiently served by West's own students who are chosen for their good scholastic average, honesty, de- pendability, and efficiency. Until the first semester of this year, the book store department was headed by Miss Ada Par- sons: but due to her illness, Miss lva L. Duden has taken it under her capable and efficient guidance, and has won praise and admiration of both stu- dents and faculty for her excellent work. To Miss Lucie Case, financial head of the book store, goes the honor for having made it a thriv- ing and profitable aid to West Side students. 51131 Eunice Banetzke, Georqiana Bilek, Aurice Lamphere.

A quiet and studious atmosphere prevails in the library at West Division, this explains Why it is the busiest and most frequented room at West for students and teachers seeking a quiet hour of study, of research, or of reading. Adding to the cheerfulness of the room, and brightening it even on dark and gloomy days, are the many potted plants found on the tables and shelves, while busts. and placques of famous historians, orators, and generals look down on student and faculty alike. On account of Miss Mary Tesovnik's excellent ability as librarian, she was granted a promotion to our Main library. Miss lsbel Stover, recent librarian at Girls' Technical High School, is now in charge of our library. Miss Stover is ably assisted by student librarians who were carefully trained by Miss Tesovnik.
